How Many Meals Per Day Should You Eat To Lose Weight?
by Russ Howe-P.t.i.
When people ask for advice on how to lose weight more efficiently, they are often overwhelmed by the scientific answers they receive. In today's post we shall explain how to get the most from your diet with a tip as simple as structuring your meals more effectively.
Most of us get lost in the world of supplements and products claiming to do all of the hard work for us, but the truth is the science behind fat loss hasn't changed very much over the last few years.
How big is the role played by meal frequency? Does it make any difference at all? This is a statement which has caught the attention of many dieters in the last couple of years and it is a conversation which takes place daily in most gyms.
Once you get past the many opinions of fitness enthusiasts and trainers, you're left with the actual science. Is there any relevant research which adds weight to this theory?
Actually, yes there is. If somebody consumes a large intake of food in one sitting, their body tends to struggle with the job of breaking down and using the fuel it has just been supplied with. After all, you'll quite often find that you don't need the vast amount of fuel you'd provide your body with in a meal.
More body fat is stored as a result of our muscles simply not needing all of this fuel. Also, it tends to lead us to feel quite bloated and, in some cases, ready for a nap.
If we eat a meal so rich in carbohydrates that we fill our body's storage resources, we simply have nowhere else to put the rest of the nutrients we have just consumed. Therefore, we begin using it as fat instead.
If you can break down big meals into smaller, lighter ones you will notice an almost immediate difference. Even if your overall daily calorie intake remains at roughly the same level, you should begin to see significant results simply because your body can use those calories a little bit better when they are presented in moderation.
Five or six smaller meals allows our body to use up the nutrients it requires a lot more efficiently than the old approach. You'll also be able to say goodbye to the common post-meal complaints we listed above, as well as naturally storing less fat than you would have with the old method.
When people are looking for information on how to lose weight, or perhaps even how to build muscle, they often get lost in a sea of information and 'next big thing' products. Today's post gives you one of the most basic, proven methods to get more from your diet and it is something which you can begin applying right now.
